H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and Minister of Trade and Industry of the Russian Federation, Denis Valentinovich Manturov, reviewed the strategic relations between the two nations and prospects of promoting cooperation across various domains, primarily at the economic level.
This Russian minister is in Abu Dhabi to participate in the International Defence Exhibition and the Naval Defence Exhibition (IDEX and NAVDEX) 2021, due to run on 21 – 25 February at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre.
